RIGEL analytical system offers a unique approach capable of integrating disparate data sources into a biodefense enterprise to support known and unknown biothreat detection, characterization and to generate assessments to counter denial and deception.
Global economic development relies on travel, trade, and the exchange of services. Annually, the number of containers, vessels, passenger luggage and mail shipments that need to be inspected increases at a rate of 3 percent. However, the number of assigned port-of-entry inspectors to prevent the accidental or intentional introductions of pest and diseases remains relatively unchanged. RIGEL is a powerful analytical targeting system that collects, analyzes, and integrates multiple types of information from numerous sources to identify commodities of risk. RIGEL is powered by billions of records associated with travel and trade that are corrected, disambiguated, consolidated, and integrated with near real time aerial, land, and marine transportation patterns.
RIGEL is Orion Integrated Biosciences’ analytical system for integrating diverse information into a unified biodefense intelligence environment. It supports the detection, characterization, and assessment of known and emerging biological threats affecting humans, animals, and plants. RIGEL helps government and institutional partners identify relevant risk patterns, improve situational awareness, and support timely, evidence-based decision-making. The system combines structured analysis, human-reviewed artificial intelligence, and visualization tools to help users move from fragmented information to actionable insight.
Originally developed for biodefense and biosecurity missions, RIGEL’s architecture is also applicable to broader national-security challenges that require multi-source analysis, early-warning intelligence, and risk-informed planning.
